Default OT - Amtrak Sure Does Hire Mensa Members, but the public aren't

In an earlier thread I brought up the stupid wording that Amtrak uses in their announcement
about where bags are "not allowed" to be stowed. Here's another gem from their website...

If you check the status of a train that is running late, they will give you the new estimated
departure time. They also include the following statement:

"When trains are late, we suggest you arrive at your departure station prior to the estimated
arrival or departure time."


The only thing wrong with that statement is the missing 'still' between 'you' and 'arrive'.

The point being if the AmTrack schedule app/website says the train is departing late,
it's still wise to get to the station before the scheduled time, in
case they make the time up en-route.

Airlines will tell you the same thing.
